A delivery slip is also called an “advice note”. It really is an assistance of distribution. Usually it is placed outside the box with customer’s name and address. It contains a detail of inside items of the box. The customer uses it to cross check the contents of the delivery. After he is satisfied with the items he just received, he signs on the delivery slip that is then, returned to the company.

In some countries the customer is supposed to keep the delivery slip. He signs on another paper instead of delivery slip which then returned to the shipper. Each company has its own rules.

That slip then goes to the permanent record of that company. On one side it helps them to evaluate the remaining stock and on the other hand, by keeping customer’s information, they can offer a discount if the he orders again in future.
